This is pretty close to what I saw, the light was making the colors go
wonky. |

Same lens, of course. Took it with shining a Xenon-bulbed flashlight at
it in order to focus on it.
Yep, I luv Nikon micro-nikkors!

Glad to feed to your ambivalence, buddy!  I was gonna take more
pictures of it, but I got hungry and ate it. Kinda crunchy, tastes like
licorice... Not!

Thanks, Michael,
H.R. Geeger is one of my faves! I think that's how his names is
pronounced, with a hard "G".

He is a swiss designer, so I think you are right. We spell a "g" hard and "i" like you do it with "ee". But I think Carsten is the expert here 
According to wikipedia Giger has done artwork for Dead Kennedys. I have their holidy in cambodia in my ears since I saw the threads here with pictures of cambodia by bigmango - bad times, good that they are over.
*ooops* off topic, sorry!

Actually, his name is spelled "H.R. Giger", I'm pretty sure it is pronounced like [geeger] which starts with a "g" as in "garden" and and first vowel as in "tea" (of course without local accents!) and an ending "-er as in "tiger".
More? Here: http://www.hrgiger.com/

Like I said, Giger is a fave, and back in the late 70's early 80's somewhere
I bought a couple calendars featuring his work (it seems back then I
would either get the Boris Vallejo, or his calendar. I was looking at
one my mom's old books, a collection of stories and poems by Edgar
Alan Poe and illustrated by Fritz Eichenberg, marvelous wood and ink
engravings, are you two guys familiar with his work?

Yes, very surgical sharpness achieved.
Nikon has never failed in a macro lens and this one is no exception.

OK, Chris, when I'm dead, you can have it! Actually, these come up
from time to time on ebay. Be prepared to pay a little for them, tho. I
got this one for $150 plus $18 shipping (San Francisco). It was a BIN for
that, but I've seen the same lens go for over $200 in a bidding frenzy. |
